Can applicants under 18 years old apply for an eTA?

Yes, applicants under 18 years old are required to have their own eTA to enter New Zealand, and they can apply for an eTA with the help of a parent or legal guardian. The parent or legal guardian can fill out the application form on behalf of the minor and provide their own contact information for correspondence about the eTA.

When applying for an eTA for a minor, the parent or legal guardian should provide accurate information about the minor, including their full name, date of birth, nationality, and passport details. Additionally, the parent or legal guardian may be asked to provide supporting documents, such as the minor's birth certificate or a letter of consent, if they are traveling alone or with someone other than the parent or legal guardian. Applicants are advised to get a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival in New Zealand and has a minimum of two blank pages for visa stamping before applying for a New Zealand eTA.

According to our visa experts, it is highly recommended that you apply for your visa in advance to avoid any arising issues. When it comes to paying the visa fees, there are several options available. You can choose to pay via bank transfer or electronically. The Bank of Cyprus accepts both US dollars and Euros for bank transfers. For those who prefer digital payments, you can use a credit or debit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express) or PayPal.
